A decent (quiet) burial maybe but a full state funeral? Using public money?
Why not a state funeral? Think of the tourism. And I think we owe it to Richard. He wasn’t a bad guy, just smeared by the blackest propaganda.
I guess it has to do with how much meaning Richard has for the living. Could be a bit of a damp squib if only a little gaggle turns up?
Thanks for the vote in favour, MM. You clearly have a thing for those whom history has dissed, judging by your blog: http://gillesderaiswasinnocent.blogspot.co.uk/
Richard III, a proud northerner, had expressed a wish to be buried at York Minster. His faith was Catholic, being pre-Reformation. The CofE and Catholic Churches should, therefore, collaborate: a Catholic requiem mass in a cathedral that’s now CofE. Royals and other dignitaries can attend if they wish, as media can record and observers line the streets. But the main thing is to do what the deceased would have wanted. That’s the usual celebrant line, anyway.
